LUMBERTON — A Red Springs man who was out on bond for murder was arrested Monday in relation to a Feb. 18 armed robbery. His alleged accomplice is still being sought.

Johnathan Maurice Mack, 24, of Red Springs was arrested by personnel from the Robeson County Sheriff’s Office, Lumberton Police Department and United States Marshals Regional Fugitive Task Force, according to a statement from the Sheriff’s Office.

Mack is charged with conspiracy to commit robbery with a dangerous weapon, two counts of robbery with a dangerous weapon, two counts of second-degree kidnapping and possession of firearm by a convicted felon. He was placed in the Robeson County Detention Center under a $275,000 secured bond.

Mack was charged with first-degree murder in the February 2019 shooting death of 21-year-old Dwayne Vincent Fairley. He was released from jail after meeting the conditions of a $225,000 secured bond placed on him for the murder charge.

Tamos Deon Jones, 25, of Shannon, also is wanted in relation to the Feb. 18 robbery. Jones faces the same charges as Mack for the robbery.

Mack and Jones have a history of run-ins with law enforcement.

Mack’s record reaches back to April 2013, when he served a 10-month post-release sentence in prison for misdemeanor charges of larceny and financial card fraud.

Mack was released in 2017 after serving two years and seven months, and a year of parole for misdemeanor charges of financial card fraud and larceny and felony credit card theft, breaking into motor vehicles, and robbery with a dangerous weapon.

Jones was charged when he was 17 with a home invasion.

Jones served about seven months in the county jail on charges of first-degree burglary, robbery with a dangerous weapon, kidnapping, and an attempted first-degree burglary. Jones was then transferred to Western Youth Institution, where he served six years and two months.

Jones also was charged in September with resisting arrest, reckless driving and fleeing to elude arrest and was released after making a $1,000 bond.

Anyone with information on the whereabouts of Jones is asked to call the Robeson County Sheriff’s Office at 910-671-3170 or 910-671-3100.
